Held in some other man’s gaze? Your hand in his hand like melting snow, your ladybug shiny toes, your satellite eyes and bourbon hair, the seismic tartan skirt you wear, fit to toss ships like a coin on a coverlet, fit for the Fats Waller afternoons, the glowing elms and oaks, their idle roots flexing through brick path and sidewalk under clicketing spigots, the silver hair combs of lawn sprinklers, the blowy, the halcyon days under clouds, white like your Shakespeare skin. In Rapid City, in Phoenix, in Eden Prairie, are you in Baltimore, propped up in a vinyl restaurant booth like a bee in a poppy?</p> <p>Never tell me that you’ve given up and joined them.</p> <p>The dime-eyed outpatients, fast-tied to weakly lit offices of old folks working. In among the crookedly wrinkled, who go from spring young to flowerless mean, bent double from phonebook wallets and ship-anchor bags and walk in beige shiny hose or municipal staticky slacks or pantsuit nightmares that spin together in a tornadic whirl until the plaque and gold-tone watch come round at last. Try to save them. Would they know what that means? In Marrakech, in Paris now, in Lisbon, are you in Birmingham?</p> <p>Never tell me that you are property now, that you are at home on this island of dogs. Tell me you still vault the turnstiles, still run the tolls, still speak in late-night Waffle House ballads. Your voice, the underground railroad of this man’s blood. Your face, like every balloon let go at the fair.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><p>-Eliot Khalil Wilson</p> <p>I love this poem so much, I may implode.</p></em>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/19038716168http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/19038716168Fri, 09 Mar 2012 22:39:13 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rHUol-l9c7w?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Where I would most like to be right now.</p>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/18455045606http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/18455045606Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:58:47 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzmt9lUC4s1qafckfo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/18011151642http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/18011151642Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:19:06 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljz9v5oZre1qcnhhzo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://alsexdelarge.tumblr.com/post/11424858867">alsexdelarge</a>:</p> <blockquote></blockquote>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/11427963072http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/11427963072Fri, 14 Oct 2011 01:49:17 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls7kj1r1aB1qhc109o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/11427958067http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/11427958067Fri, 14 Oct 2011 01:49:04 -0400<a href="http://boingboing.net/page/2">Mickey and Minnie: Naivete, Indeed.</a>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/10820375050http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/10820375050Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:42:18 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr4yjx9Gct1qzz5ieo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://kvetchlandia.tumblr.com/post/9908739619" class="tumblr_blog">kvetchlandia</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Edward Steichen     Martha Graham      1931</p></blockquote>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9910224571http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9910224571Wed, 07 Sep 2011 01:52:51 -0400<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WFcOqyWBKYg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Now watching, The Red Shoes</p>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796409404http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796409404Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:58:17 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr0f69GrrF1qzzlb5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796341987http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796341987Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:56:32 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqvn1fv4U31qzoaqio1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqvn1fv4U31qzoaqio2_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqvn1fv4U31qzoaqio3_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqvn1fv4U31qzoaqio4_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://bohemea.tumblr.com/post/9747210436">bohemea</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Marilyn Monroe by George Barris, June 30th 1962</p> </blockquote>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796278978http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796278978Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:55:03 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqx64nn1OR1qzn34eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://robot-heart.tumblr.com/post/9790283786" class="tumblr_blog">robot-heart</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>(by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marianomio/5394675188/in/contacts/">MarianoMio</a>)</p></blockquote>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796217299http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9796217299Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:53:30 -0400portrait<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqgv2sF9dP1qzgnmgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9593398001http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/9593398001Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:30:47 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnw65upINN1qa934fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/7292538344http://musebuttons.tumblr.com/post/7292538344Wed, 06 Jul 2011 00:49:06 -0400<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/6044635387/tumblr_lif4ydkX0r1qdfzeh&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p><a href="http://pdvmorris.tumblr.com/post/6041317595" class="tumblr_blog">pdvmorris</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Poor Otis he was just getting to the top of his game when he was struck down by that dreaded small plane shuffle.  This song I sang to my Darlin’ Nicci at our wedding reception….only one verse before the band saved me.  But it’s our love of Soul, R’n’B that brought us together as we were continents apart.  Great music, great post merci beaucoup!</p> <p><a href="http://darth-vitus.tumblr.com/post/5911088792">darth-vitus</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Otis Redding -
